Ellen Gration and Dan Milne will be running the Manchester Marathon on Sunday 16th April for Tiny Lives. This charity offers support to premature, sick newborn babies and their families.

We were looking for a challenge that really did challenge us, so that was how the marathon came about. We both enjoy running but with a marathon its not just the 42km on the day, it’s the months of training, and commitment that leads up to the event that are hard. Week after week getting up at 5.30 to get a run in before work, then sacrifice the weekend for a long run.So we are asking everyone to dig deep and support us
